So just as I was about to start my adventure seeking Verona, Cam called. He wanted to know if I would like to go to the beach. Being the adventurous sort, I said “Yes, of course! But we have to stop by a famous Seattle-based coffee chain first!”
And we did. They weren’t brewing Verona that day. They did, however, have decaffeinated Verona. And Sumatra was the coffee-of-the-day.
And what can I say? Jim‘s observations about Sumatra and Verona were dead on, even with decaf Verona. The Sumatra was coffee to be sure. Black, thick, burnt coffee. But definitely coffee. And the Verona? My lexicon is not well-infused with coffee colloquialisms, so instead I shall steal shamelessly from Jim: heavenly. Good stuff. Just the right amount of smokey. That’s it in the grande container on the right.
After that, it was off to bodysurf the biggest waves I’ve yet seen in Florida. Some were taller than me! Bodysurfing is superfun, except when you get going a little faster than you intended, get ahead of the wave, and then have it crest on top of your head. That isn’t so fun. But it is exhilarating! After that, I was a little more careful about the waves I chose to ride. Now I totally want a boogie board.
